Leadership: We Communicate Your Thoughts

The Indus Valley Civilization has always mesmerized historians. The Harappan sculptures, seals, pottery, and jewelry aesthetically tell a legacy that makes us proud. It is said Harappan handlooms were exported to the distant lands of China, Rome, and Europe. In 1921, an excavation undertaken at Harappa found spindles and spindle whorls, the remnants of a great legacy. During the Mughal dynasty, Indian muslins and chintz were the fashion rage with women in Dacca, Rome, and Paitan. But somewhere along with the colonial era, we started to detach ourselves from this unparalleled legacy. Over the past few decades, the changing governments have strived to relive the clothing culture closest to nature. Still, there was always something missing and hand-looms never really caught the attention of the millennials.
